Fight for Space
Screening and Debate

Thursday, May 25, 2017
7:00pm-10:00pm

Join us on Thursday evening for a special ISDC “kick-off” event to Fight for Space! According to the website www.fightforspace.com, Fight for Space is a documentary film that asks, “Why haven’t we gone back to the Moon, or sent humans to Mars? Weren’t we supposed to be there in the 1980s? What led to the decline of NASA's budget and why is it stuck in low Earth orbit?” Filmed over four years, with more than 60 interviews conducted with astronauts, politicians, educators, historians, scientists, former NASA officials, commercial space entrepreneurs, and many other experts in the space community, the film premiered in November 2016 at the DOC NYC Film Festival. At ISDC 2017 you will have a rare opportunity to see this documentary, meet some of the interviewees, listen to a debate of the ideas presented in the film, and participate in the discussion, “How can weFight for Space?”
